around you and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you and
saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A
golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts
to prove to us He only takes the best.
Love and miss you too much,
